I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 121

She held Gillian Jordan's hand, every word recounting their past happy life.

Gillian's eyes pricked with tears as she recalled the sweetness and warmth of the past, but reality always had a way of slapping her in the face.

She bit her lip. "Mom, it's just the two of us for dinner tonight. Dad and Parrish are busy, I'll call him later."

"Never mind..." Mrs. Jordan smiled. "They're busy with work, we won't bother them. Gillian, you're graduating soon. Are you going to work at your father's hospital then?"

Gillian took a deep breath, suppressing the sharp pain in her heart, and gave her mother a vague, comforting answer.

The elevator arrived at the eighteenth floor.

Gillian opened the door, and Mrs. Jordan walked inside normally at first.

But the moment she took in the apartment's layout, it was as if something triggered her.

"This isn't our home, this isn't it! Where are we?"

Mrs. Jordan clutched her head, crying out in agony.

"Mom, Mom—" Gillian grabbed her struggling mother. "Did you forget? This is the apartment I rented near the university. We won't be going back to the Jordan house for a while. You're going to stay here and take care of me for a few days, okay?"

She spoke in a gentle, coaxing tone.

Gradually, Mrs. Jordan's emotions settled.

But her memories began to scramble again, her words slipping into erratic territory. "You and York are married."

"Why haven't you had a baby after all these years?"

The words pierced Gillian's heart like a blade, but she carefully deflected the topic. "I'm going to make you your favorite pumpkin soup, okay?"

"Okay."

Gillian coaxed her mother further into the apartment and turned on the television in the living room for her to watch.

Only then did she head into the kitchen to start cooking.
